尽管跨文化对自然环境偏好的研究往往发现相当高的一致性，但大多数研究都集中在相关性发现上。对实际偏好水平和感知类别的分析产生了更完整的图景。西澳大利亚和美国学生对西澳大利亚风景的偏好评分提供了一个机会来研究偏好和感知的跨文化比较。然而，第三个样本的加入使亚文化差异更加明显。一个对植物和保护感兴趣的西澳大利亚群体对澳大利亚学生的偏好模式明显不同。本研究证明了熟悉度的不同方面对环境偏好的影响。此外，偏好评级可以作为一种有效的参与工具，以识别利益群体之间的差异。
Although studies of preferences for natural environments across cultures have tended to find rather high agreement, most studies have concentrated on correlational findings. Analyses of actual preference levels and of perceptual categories yield a more complete picture. Western Australian and American student preference ratings of scenes of the Western Australian landscape provided an opportunity to examine cross-cultural comparisons for both preference and perception. The inclusion of a third sample, however, makes evident even greater sub-cultural differences. A Western Australian group sharing an interest in flora and conservation showed distinctly different preference patterns to the Australian students. The study demonstrates the effect of different aspects of familiarity on environmental preference. Furthermore, preference ratings may serve as an effective participation tool to identify differences among interest groups.
